sound

[andu]

Could someone help me with sound related properties (MacOS 9.1):
I want to record some voice to a file and then play it.
This is what I have so far:

record sound file x
stop recording
start player 1

but the playback sounds very funny. I know I may have to set some 
recording/playback properties but I know nothing about sound in general.
Also, can I record to a variable instead of file?
I wish the archive had a search engine...
